Our Origin Story

Built by Students Who Understand the Struggle

We're students at Covenant University who watched talented peers struggle financially while local businesses hesitated to hire Talents. Acader was born to bridge this trust gap.

😔

The Student's Reality

Talented students with valuable skills can't find flexible, legitimate work. They resort to asking parents for money or taking exploitative jobs that don't respect their academic schedules.

72% of students struggle with finances
💸

The Business Challenge

Local SMEs need affordable talent but fear hiring unproven talents. They face unreliable freelancers and expensive agencies that charge ₦50k+ for simple tasks.

60% of SMEs cite talent cost as a barrier
🚀

Our Solution

Acader creates a trusted marketplace where verified talents meet vetted local businesses. Secure payments, university verification, and rating systems ensure quality and reliability for both sides.
